Vehicle Description
If the new C7 is a little too "out there" and you've always hoped
to score a clean C6 with an affordable price tag, then this 2011
Corvette coupe has a lot to offer. Loaded with just about every
available option and with a miniscule 22,300 original miles, it's
probably the one to own if you like the C6 look.
Very few Corvettes are purchased new to become daily drivers;
they're typically someone's lifelong dream and they live in heated
garages until the weather is just right to go out and play. That's
certainly the case here, as this one looks like it has never seen
rain. Blade Silver looks spectacular on the sleek C6 Corvette
bodywork and if it's attention you crave, this car will still
deliver by the truckload. By 2011, they pretty much had the
Corvette factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky dialed-in, and the cars
coming out of there have been extremely high quality for many
years, because those guys take a lot of pride in building America's
finest sports car. This one has doors that fit well, excellent
gaps, and paint that looks like it belongs on a far more expensive
car. Even the nose hasn't been sandblasted by gravel or scraped on
steep driveways, and while the tires are fairly sticky, the rocker
panels look great. There's just no way this Corvette looks six
years old, a testament to the car it has received since it was
new.
The Corvette guys got with the program after years of automotive
writers complaining about the low-rent passenger compartments. With
upgraded leather and sophisticated textures, this Corvette interior
looks expensive and upscale and the seats are supportive and
comfortable without being confining. A technological tour-de-force,
this Corvette carries just about every option GM could throw at it,
including the 3LT package (which offers a heads-up display, Bose
audio system, power telescoping steering wheel, and dual power
heated seats), navigation system, perforated leather seating
surfaces, a back-up camera, and iPod connectivity. The top comes
off, which is pretty close to the convertible driving experience,
except you get to keep the giant trunk, where the top will store
neatly while you're cruising. It's all in excellent condition with
minimal wear and you'll never get tired of watching the gauges do
their dance every time you key it up.
Remember when the ZR-1 had 405 horsepower and it was astounding?
Well, this 2009 C6 pulls 430 horsepower from its LS3 V8 and that's
how it came from the factory, complete with a warranty. The
LS-series of engines are quite modification-friendly, but this
Corvette remains completely stock, right down to the air cleaner,
and quite honestly, are you really going to use more than 430
horsepower on your commute to work? With bulletproof reliability
and a very tractable nature, this car is equally happy trundling
through rush-hour traffic or hammering the corners at the next open
track day. There's a lot of black plastic under the hood, but it
makes the engine bay look orderly and clean, and with proper
maintenance it'll run practically forever. The 6-speed automatic
transmission always seems to be in the right gear, and with a
towering overdrive, this Corvette pulls down remarkable fuel
economy on the open road. Powerful disc brakes live behind gorgeous
polished alloy wheels wearing 245/40/18 front and 285/35/19
Goodyear F1 performance radials.
Available for about half of its original price, this documented
Corvette offers big performance and all the right options in a
sleek silver package that never fails to earn respect. Call
